Jim,
Though I am glad that you want to belong and to be involved in the
discussions of ASA, a organization of and for Christians in Science. We
had via this asa-list discussions, and I am sorry that you insist on
denigrating our Christian faith, but why do you continue to "attack" many
Christian doctrines? You know as well as all Christians, that no one is
forcing you to believe that Jesus died for your and my sins. No one is
forcing you to accept the Bible as God's Word. You can almost always
expect to get reactions from Christians, who believe that Jesus is their
Saviour, and accept the Bible as God's Word, but why do you do that?
Jan
